          I am saying that celebrity worship, or more generally, worship of people who one deems “above” oneself, is a very problematic aspect of all East Asian cultures which are influenced by Confucianism, and by the fact that they shed feudalism not as long ago as for example Western European societies. And I don’t understand the need to use that kind of gutter vocabulary. Doesn’t exactly make you seem very educated.

            my language? go fuck yourself you racist piece of garbage. i dont need to seem any way to the likes of you. have fun “expecting better” of some arbitrary group you happen to puy yourself in (wow so luck!)

            and Confucianism has NOTHING to do with celebrity worship. it’s about deference. it’s your “”“THE WEST”“” and the way they idolize god and prophets that are the true celebrity worship cultures

            But that doesn’t make sense to you! anything to put down another culture that is foreign to you. which leads me back to go fuck yourself you racist piece of shit, i hope you get throat cancer and end up with a trachea full of maggots
